Aluroll Shutter Systems

I’m a Florida licensed General Contractor here in Miami. I have has the delight to find and utilize Aluroll’s products and services for over 20/​years. rarely does one find the level of quality, service and genuine care that I have found every time I have needed expert assistance in planning and fulfilling my clients storm protective needs especially in the realm or rolling shutter technology including garage doors. I’m sure everyone who has experienced meeting the owner Kurt and utilized his professional knowledge in his field of expertise must agree that he is the very best around. I believe that if Kurt can’t fix your rolling product problems that it’s time for a new replacement product. I’m writing this review while waiting for Aluroll’s shop to open so I can find peace of mind in solving my clients rolling shutter needs.

Hurricane Shutters with Class Quality and European Craftsmanship.
I’m really not sure where to start. Miami is such a bad place generally speaking in terms of service and ethics, that the rare exception appears as either a sight for sore eyes or a possible apparition.
I was referred to Aluroll about a year ago and have used them since.
Aluroll is a small manufacturer operated by Kurt, who is from Germany.
Electric shutters are very popular in Europe and are often integrated into dwellings pre construction as part of the design.
Kurt is an old world craftsman. Hurricane shutters are not rocket science but it does not hurt to have a shutter man who really knows his stuff and can solve a design problem if you have a special installation.
By comparison, I had been using Rollaway a large manufacturer for my repairs. Rollaway makes a good shutter and their service is good, but they can make you wait weeks for service and their charges seem excessive.
Kurt has been very prompt on service, and his prices have been fair.
Electric shutters are expensive relative to other types of hurricane shutters. I love mine and use them as window coverings as I have allergies and dont like extra fabric inside. Alluroll fabricates the other types of hurricane shutters as well as the electric.
Aluroll is not that good at marketing. I found out about them from a retired fireman. They dont have a website. They get a good deal of their business from companies in the shutter business and garage door business.
If you do get electric shutters, I suggest considering remote controls as well as a wall switch. Not that expensive and a relatively new offering in hurricane shutters.
One thing to think about. I am not sure I have the answer but it is worth pondering. Now you can buy hurricane proof windows. They are expensive but you dont need hurricane shutters. I heard of a situation recently where fire rescue had to use a chain saw to get into a home with hurricane proof windows. I dont know if thats true but it may be.
Other than being expensive hurricane proof windows might seem to be better than shutters. One consideration however is, that a hurricane might beat up the aluminum frames of the hurricane proof windows so badly they need to be replaced even if the hurricane does not penetrate the dwelling.
Happy Hurricanes. I am waiting for the day the big one comes and afterward I can tie my boat up to the Metrorail.
